Auction buy with clear rental upside near university and city centre.
Vacant possession; sold at auction 10 Dec 2025, guide price £125,000+
Large overall size approx. 948 sq ft plus cellar
Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, front yard
Requires renovation; signs of damp and dated fittings throughout
EPC rating F — energy upgrades likely required
Solid brick walls with assumed no insulation; retrofit potential
High local rental demand (students and professionals)
Area has high crime and very deprived local context
Offered at auction on 10 December 2025 with a guide price of £125,000+, this vacant two-bedroom mid-terrace sits in a high-demand student and rental area close to the university, Leeds General Infirmary and the city centre. The property is freehold, has a large overall size (approx. 948 sq ft), a cellar and a front yard — useful income-boosting features for a landlord or short-term let operator.
The house requires renovation and some TLC: internal rooms show wear and damp in places and the property has an EPC rating of F. Walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so energy upgrades and a full refurbishment will be needed to reach modern standards. This is a practical project for an investor prepared to budget for improvements and energy-efficiency works.
Practical positives include vacant possession at sale, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, recent double glazing, and very cheap council tax (Band A). The location delivers strong rental demand from students and young professionals, rapid access to transport and local amenities, and a large plot with garden potential. Be mindful that the area has high crime and sits within a very deprived local context, which will affect tenant profiles and management strategy.
For a hands-on investor this property offers clear upside: buy at auction, complete targeted refurbishment and energy upgrades, then let into the busy local market. If you need a low-management, low-cost entry into Leeds rental stock, factor in refurbishment budgets, EPC remediation and neighbourhood management costs before bidding.
